Rather, he felt that music should be judged based on whether it is good or not.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like the Industrial Revolution, where there was this huge shift from horses to cars and trains. I don\u2019t feel negatively about this change. A lot of people are putting it to use in the right way. We don\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, there used to be like 100 songwriters under one producer. Nowadays, you could say that there\u2019s an AI tool instead of all those songwriters. But the most important thing, whether you\u2019re working with human songwriters or AI, the important thing is you need to have a discerning eye to tell whether this piece of music is good.<\/p>\n<p>We can no longer reject this change because it\u2019s irreversible now. Instead of just crossing my arms and saying \u2018I\u2019m against this,\u2019 I feel like there will come a day when we just have to embrace what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Suga via Bloomberg<\/p>\n<p>This response left many disappointed, considering Suga\u2019s musical background, with many sharing feelings opposite of his opinion, even referring to it as \u201cdefeatist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">this is the most defeatist, capitalist take, removing the humanity of songwriting.<\/p>\n<p>he&#8217;s telling people to accept the water insecurity and poisoning of communities surrounding the facilities that house these AI computers. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;just give up it&#8217;s inevitable.&#8221; well i say NO, STOP AI <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P59ET2w9sS\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/P59ET2w9sS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 princess rachel (@pr1nc3ssrach3l) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pr1nc3ssrach3l\/status\/2034973031966085589?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">oh brother\u2026 the future is NOT going to be okay <\/p>\n<p>\u201cwe\u201d can afford to \u201cembrace\u201d this change with blood on our hands of all the communities being deprived of life &amp; dignity and the genocides being perpetrated by these very same companies and systems. those people don\u2019t get a choice <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/auTEKxXfFi\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/auTEKxXfFi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud83e\uddc4 (@soulskive) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/soulskive\/status\/2034982738009137589?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Between this and the Zara Larsson thing in under 24 hours, it&#8217;s looking very bleak. &#8220;Can no longer reject this change&#8221;. &#8220;Embrace what&#8217;s happening&#8221;.
